Well.. it's looming

On the plus side, i feel very very confident about my riding ability..

on the negative side, i've been locking up the rear wheel on the emergency stop because of the wet roads! - got to drill this out of my with a bit of practise before the test (got a lesson starting at 9am)

Just peered out of the window to find the snow here has melted, hopefully the same can be said for 15 miles north of here!

Wish me luck guys! Very Happy

Think it's only a minor if you lock the wheel up, as long as you regain control again quickly.

Just dont stamp on it. Progressive braking and all that.

unlucky! thats crazy, how long have motorbikes been ridden on the pavements? if the road was clear shouldn't have made a difference, sounds like the examiner couldn't be bothered to go out in the cold. better luck next time

Some of the reasons they cancel is to try and make it as fair as possible to each candidate throughout the year, also for your safety, you may be the best rider in the world, but it could be an idiot not used to the conditions that takes you out.
